Nearly three dozen graduating seniors at Siuslaw High School have been rewarded for their hard work with nearly a quarter of a million dollars in scholarship assistance.

"Without the support of these organizations, the dreams of local students would be much more difficult to achieve," it was noted Monday in a press release from Siuslaw High School.

"Scholarship night is as much a tribute to our community as it is to the commitment of our students as they strive to achieve their goals and make the world a better place for all in the future."

A total of $244,950 in scholarship money was awarded to 35 graduating seniors.

"Siuslaw High School would like to acknowledge both the student awardees and the generosity of the organizations that make scholarship night the success that it has grown to become over the years," the release stated.

More than $100,000 of the scholarship funds came from three organizations — Rotary of Florence, Soroptimist Club of Florence and the Western Lane Community Foundation.
